I [Comm] Settings For Communication With Other Devices - Panasonic WJ-HD309 Operating Instructions Manual

I [Comm] Settings for communication with other devices

It is necessary to adjust the communication speed and use
the same communication protocol with external devices
such as a controller when connecting those external
devices to the DATA port or the SERIAL connector
(RS232C).
It is also necessary to perform the settings for the network
such as the IP address and the gateway address when
operating this unit a PC via a network such as a LAN.
These are the descriptions of how to perform the required
settings for communication with external devices.

Notes:
• Perform settings according to the cameras connect-
ed to this unit.
• CAM 9-16 control 4 cameras each (only for the WJ-
HD316).
• When using the coaxial communication to control
cameras, connect cameras to the VIDEO IN con-
nectors 1 - 8 for the WJ-HD316 (1 - 6 for the WJ-
HD309) (coaxial communication compatible). When
controlling cameras connected to other VIDEO IN
connectors with coaxial communication, use a
coaxial communication unit (WJ-MP204). In this
case, select "PSD" for the communication method
